An individual’s development is influenced by their interaction within a given environment. Challenges are bound to happen although they provide a better setting where an individual can learn how to ensure that problems do not define their development but become the basis of their strength. I have faced significant challenges, which have been detrimental to my growth especially when interacting with other individuals. Being able to counter these challenges present a unique setting where it is possible to achieve the underlying objectives.
I am a student who is very passionate about education, and I consider obstacles as sources of my strength since they empower me to work extra hard to achieve my objectives. I am a son of a single mother from a first-generation immigrant. My mother has been working extremely hard in ensuring that I am successful in my education. Having been born and raised in a different culture and language, I have had significant problems in interacting with other individuals who speak English. English to me is a second language, and thus I have been mostly unable to communicate effectively with other individuals considering the differing culture. When I was ten years, I had very caring friends who helped me a lot despite my difficulties. My mother was not always available considering many responsibilities she had as a single mother. She showed overwhelming support in helping me to adapt especially considering that my education success was based on quick mastery of the English language since all the classes were being taught in English.

I had very engaging and interactive teachers who sought to help me overcome the challenges that I was facing. I have been able to recognize the crucial elements that I need to foster positive relations with other individuals as well as adopt cultural changes to embrace the new culture, which was essential to my academic success.
